Biography
Margot Kidder was born in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada on 17 October 1948, the daughter of an American father and a Canadian mother. She made her film debut in 1968, appearing in low-budget Canadian films and television series before her acting career took off in the 1970s. She rose to fame in 1978 for her role as Lois Lane in the Superman film series, alongside Christopher Reeve. By the late 1980s, her career began to slow, and, in her later years, she became an outspoken political, environmental, and anti-war activist, becoming a United States citizen in 2005 so that she could vote in US elections and prevent herself from being deported. She supported Democratic Party presidential candidate Jesse Jackson in 1984, opposed fracking, and campaigned for Bernie Sanders in 2015. She died in Livingston, Montana in 2018 at the age of 69.
